> See documentation "Applying multiple annotation rule of the same type"
> The inner annotation should be usable as a wrapper for the outer annotation, to apply several rules to one element. Therefore the inner annotation has to have the very same defined {{@Target}} annotations as the outer annotation. This is not the case for most of the rules, making them practically useless. 
> Example:
> {{@BeanPropertySetter}} - its {{@Target}} is {{ElementType.Field}}
> but its inner List 
> {{@BeanPropertySetter.List}} - its {{@Target}} is {{ElementType.Type}}
> The only place where this is correct are the Create Rules, which are the annotations from the documentation.
> May I suggest to create a test case or example for a multi annotation rule? The provided example for annotated rules was very helpful for me, but is very simple and doesn't cover multi annotated rules.
